![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | The Private Life of Henry VIII. - Alexander Korda, Ludovico Toeplitz The film follows the private life of the infamous 16th century British monarch, King Henry the VIII, and his misadventures in his various marriages. Henry the VIII is wonderfully portrayed by the highly talented and entertaining Charles Laughton, a masterful one-of-a-kind character actor who managed to land many plum roles despite looking like a bloated fish.
